A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 7: Past Events of the University of Michigan (1)

"Thank you so much."

   Out of politeness, Joseph didn't say anything to mock Lu Li, even if he thought this behavior was indeed too pedantic.

   "Where did you hear about me?"

   "The landlord, Uncle Johnny."

   Then, Lu Li added ambiguously: "In fact, in order to return things to their original owners, I specially hired a carriage and went around East London for a long time before finding the right place."

   Subconsciously, Joseph wanted to tell his true thoughts: In order to rent this house, I almost used up all my savings. Now there is no extra money for you. If possible, these four books will be regarded as rewards.

   Thinking of this, the crappy doctor thought about it, the more he felt feasible, because he had already seen that Lu Li was not short of money.

   And, like a pedantic old-school gentleman——

  Dark clothes and trousers, just a bow tie, and a decadent aura radiating from all over his body, completely unlike an energetic young man.

   Nowadays, bean green, orange and pink gloves are popular in the fog, with crimson straps, kaleidoscope-style shirt decoration buttons, and it is best to embroider dahlias, skulls, sunflowers and ballerinas on the clothes...

   If it is not for financial strength, and his embarrassing age that is not too high, Dr. Joseph also wants to follow the trend, buy a hat with shiny colors, and come with an exaggerated cane.

   Of course, Lu Li didn't know this, let alone, the crappy doctor thought of him like this.

   "Let me tell you, because the marginal age is too old, there are too many errors and omissions in these three medical books, and the page missing is serious, except for the cumbersomeness, there is not much value."

   After euphemistically expressing the meaning that they are waste garbage, Joseph said again: "But this book is different. It carries too many stories."

   Hearing the words, Lu Li picked up the milk jug on the coffee table, poured a cup and passed it over, "I wish to hear more."

   Looking at the unexpected visitor who did not regard himself as an outsider, Joseph was a little speechless, but he said slowly:

   "That was seven years ago."

   "Because I can't afford the high local university fees and my father's job has been transferred, I went to America on the other side of the ocean and continued to study there."

   "Out of curiosity in the field of medicine and a better life in the future, I applied for Harvard University."

   "Unfortunately, the interview situation is not ideal. I cannot give a clear answer to the questions raised by the examiner. At the same time, there is no good recommender."

   Lu Li nodded silently, indicating that he was listening carefully.

   And Doctor Joseph was also infected by his own emotions, no longer entangled with other things, and narrated the past in a deep voice.

   "That period was particularly tormenting. I prayed day and night, hoping that Harvard would open the door to me, but as time went by, hope became less and less.

   However, just as my family and I were about to fall into despair, the postman knocked on the door, and he handed over a letter encapsulated in flame paint. "

   Hearing this, Lu Qiqi was a little weird. He had also had a similar experience:

   Unsatisfactory results-waiting for notice-desperate-the postman comes to the door.

   "At the time, amid the urging of my parents, I woke up from the excitement and gently scraped the paint away with a knife, and found that it was indeed a hot gold admission notice."

   While talking, Dr. Joseph shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I was too happy at that time. The school that threw the olive branch to me was not Harvard, but Miskatonic."

   "In fact, I have never sent an application to this school, let alone know what it comes from."

   "So... have you gone?"

   Lu Li finally spoke. At this moment, he could almost conclude that this Doctor Joseph had the same experience as himself and entered an extraordinary world from the secular world.

   "Go." Joseph let out a self-deprecating smile, and said helplessly: "In that case, I have only two choices, either wait until next year, or just go and have a look."

"Moreover, this university gave me a very convincing reason. UM is not a pheasant university. It is a fraternity school with Harvard, and its predecessor is almost the same. It is a seminary, even now, between the two. There are extensive academic exchanges."

   "Because of this, the Harvard interviewers handed over my application materials to the University of Michigan. They believed that it was more suitable for me to grow up."

  This nonsense...

  Which school will send unnecessary garbage to the brother college?

   But Mr. Joseph just believed it.

  【Dear Hyde Joseph, you have been admitted to the medical school of our school. Please arrive in Arkham within three weeks after receiving the letter. The teachers and students of the school are looking forward to your arrival. 】

  To this day, the contents of the notice are still vivid.

   The crappy doctor pointed to the book with the mysterious coat of arms in his hand, and sighed: "This weird five-star light is the school badge, and there is a sly eye on it. I don't know why the founder of the school designed it like this in the first place."

   "Where did you learn your medical skills?" Lu Li said calmly.

   "Yes, it's lame, right?"

Joseph seemed to see through the minds of the visitors and added: "The medical field is indeed a weakness of the University of Michigan, but it is very competitive in the fields of literature, art, philosophy, etc., in the Americas, and even the entire Western world. At Harvard."

   "In addition, the principal set up a medical school and a school of architecture in order to build the University of Michigan into a comprehensive college. I am one of the first batch of students."

   "Correspondingly, the professors are not very reliable. They don't have any passion in class, as if teaching students is just a business."

   Without Lu Li's guidance, Joseph couldn't help but start complaining: "Medicine is not witchcraft~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It is a branch of science, just like Darwin's biology.

   But those professors disagreed. They seemed to worship theology more and expressed to me many times whether they wanted to appreciate the truth of the world. "

   "Are you agreeing?" Lu Li was a little excited, and interrupted Joseph's memory.

"how is this possible!"

   Joseph couldn’t help raising his voice a bit, as if he was trampled on a sore foot, and retorted: “Such a ridiculous thing, three-year-old children will believe...”

   There is no lack of some intense vocabulary in the language.

   However, Lu Li could hear a little lack of breath from it.

   "You are right to refute, what is science? The steam engine is science, and what is the truth of the world? I believe that astronomers and historians can answer."

   Lu Li said so deliberately.

   Oppositely, Joseph recovered his calm. He first apologized for his gaffe, and then continued to talk about the past: "I was like that. I talked about science with professors and the theory of biological evolution, trying to correct that misconception."

   "But these old stubborn people said that the theories of Darwin and Haeckel couldn't stand scrutiny at all. They thought they had found the truth, and they didn't know that it was a deliberate falsification."
